Description
This exquisite Fantasia on the timeless English folk song 'Greensleeves' was arranged for violin and piano by Michael Mullinar based on music from Vaughan Williams's opera Sir John in Love. It features sweeping expressive phrases reminiscent of the Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. The folk tune 'Lovely Joan' is included alongside the Greensleeves tune, forming the basis of a more animated central section.
